We've seen more change and innovation over the last seven months than in the decade prior. Leading schools are taking using this moment to push forward, rather than trying to simply "return to normal." Online learning will continue in a post-pandemic world, according to a new global study by Pearson, but in what forms and to what extent? That's our focus this week at One Schoolhouse. Take our flash survey below, read Corinne's blog​, and join me for our Academic Leaders Webinar on Wednesday.

And, as you know, at One Schoolhouse, we aim to be the best partner in innovation to schools as possible... so later this week, we'll be sending along our more comprehensive survey to consortium schools asking you to weigh in on what courses we should offer for students and faculty in summer 2021 and the 2021-2022 school year. Be on the lookout for that survey.

Question of the week: Are you planning to include online courses in your 2021-2022 course offerings?

One of the most long-lasting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic is that online learning is a part of the fabric of what schools are and do. Join Brad and Sarah for our Academic Leaders Webinar ​ on Wednesday, October 28 at 12noon ET, to learn how schools should weave online learning into their curriculum in a post-COVID world.
